What is an Alternator?

An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. If you’ve ever wondered how your battery has kept going for so long, it is because the alternator is what keeps the battery charged!

If your vehicle has dim or flicking headlights, other electrical failures, strange noises, stalls or has difficulty starting, or if the battery has died, then you may have a faulty or broken Alternator. Note that just because your battery may have died, doesn’t mean the battery was the problem, it could be the alternator.
